1995 BMW 325 i convertable

I had a problem trying to let down my convertable top, so I pulled the manual bar located under the back seat. Then I checked the cars manual and it stated if you do this you have to take it to a service center to have reset.

THERE IS A RESET SOLUTION. The manual has a reset for the top to do it automatically and adjust itself, for when it hits the cover on the way down. I am not sure of the procedure but do know it exists. Consult the manual is what I was told.

I believe you do this in this order. Roll windows down, release the latch at the top of the windshield, raise the front of the top, release rear cover by pulling the latch near the rear seat, Pull up the back of the top and then pull up on the rear cover. The back of the top should now fit into the opening under the rear cover. Continue to fold the top into this space. Push down on the rear cover to lock (won't be able to open trunk if not engaged.) To raise it, release rear latch cover, open rear cover and pull top out of opening. Raise rear of top so you are able to now close the rear cover, set rear of top down on cover and then pull fron of top down and engage the fraont latch. Hoe that helps.

The location of the battery in the BMW 525i series is under the back seat on the
passengers side. To access the battery, grab under the front portion of the
back seat and pull upward with some force. There are two slips into
which the seat is secured. One on the passenger side and one on the
drivers side, again in the front of the back seat. There is not one in
the center.

Hey there, I have experienced the same problem. You need to reengage both motors if you have disengaged them pulling the lever undernearth the rear driverside seat. Make sure to put the black lever back under the seat to the position before pulling on it.

You should have the top in the down position before engaging the motors back in place.

To engage the motors: The motors are located under the carpet in the trunk on the driver side. There are two black clips you will need to remove in order to pull the carpet back. One of the motors is located near the taillight. This motor is responsible for the storage lid cover. The motor that is located further in the drunk is the motor for the fabric top to move up and down. Make sure to firmly press these motors back into place. They should not move.

Once you have engaged the motors, go into your car put the key into the ignition and have the convertible top button pressed up (meaning to close the top), move the key to the accessory positio and hold it for 10-12 seconds. You will finally see the trunk lid get pulled closed. The car will now attempt to completely close the lid. If your motors are working fine it will close. If your only intention is to get the lid to close on it's own it should be accomplished.
